Excellent stepping board for adventures, and it will at least steer you in the right direction. The categories are vague, but thats what imagination is for.


LIKED: It was very simple to understand, and was worth the price.

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Satisfied

Consisting of only a few tables, and a very basic descriptions this product is lackluster at best. While it is a great start, without a bit more exposition of actually utilizing the tables and handling the superheroic nature of possible events, its really not worth it. Plus for a short product its page numbering is munged: There are two page 9's (one should be page 3), while not a horrible error, its really noticeable.



LIKED: The product is inexpensive, well organized, and simple to use.

DISLIKED: It really is little more than the license, a one page explanation, and charts/tables. Something that should be inside a fuller more robust product (full game, or full superhero GM book)


QUALITY: Disappointing

VALUE: Satisfied

This is pretty decent. I think it could have been a free product, but I'm happy with the price that is. This will work anyone that is stumped for a quick superhero adventure idea.

QUALITY: Acceptable

VALUE: Satisfied

A great idea for creating adventures on the fly.

Works well, but can get results that are hard to fit into your game. My solution to this is simple: reroll.


LIKED: As mentioned above

DISLIKED: A few layout issues in the tables.

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Very Satisfied

Kind of cool, if you're really stuck for ideas. Standard plots available or you can roll some really odd ideas.


LIKED: Good presentation, easy to use

DISLIKED: could have stood a bit more detail

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Satisfied

For those days when inspiration needs a subtle kick in the pants, a random adventure generator like this can be useful to a harried GM. It works by picking out a selection of key words to be plugged into a sentence that outlines the plot.

For example, it might produce ?The main characters must [Rescue] [a Scientist], from [In Orbit], but have to contend with [Equipment Failure] while being confronted by [Hired Killers].? It's then up to the GM to flesh that out with details, coming up with any required NPCs and tying the plot into the campaign world.

Some combinations might need a little mental flexibility to explain, such as why the heroes have to [Kill] a [Celebrity] in the [Jungle] while dealing with a [Dimensional Rift] and opposed by [Lawyers], but that's half the fun.


LIKED: Clean layout, wide range of keywords appropriate to the genre.

DISLIKED: These tables are all rolled using D8s. We hates the pointy little swine.

QUALITY: Very Good

VALUE: Satisfied
